Trattoria Nervosa is a cute little restaurant in the heart of Yorkville - great for client lunches, get-together's with your girlfriends or date night. Serving an amazing Italian menu, there are two things on the menu that I personally can't get enough: Insalata di Cavolo Nero and Mafalde ai Funghi. You're probably wondering what the hell is that, well, let me begin to describe what you are missing out as you're reading this:
- Insalata di Cavolo Nero is a kale salad. It is probably the most unhealthy kale salad you will ever eat. In every bite, you get a balance of the toasted pine nuts, shaved pecorino, parmigiano and lemon vinaigrette. I generally find kale a bit bitter, but this was not bitter at all.
- Mafalde ai Funghi is a portobello pasta in a cream sauce. Like the kale salad it is a very rich dish with a fantastic blend of flavours. I
My recommendation would be order both and share it between you and another person. You can get a taste of each dish and by the end of it, you'll be stuffed.
